RedLXXXIVhi all20:39
Myrttihello20:40
Myrttihow can we help you today20:40
RedLXXXIVI was banned from the #ubuntu channel, and wanted to get back on it - the issue is as follows20:40
RedLXXXIVMy brother was using my computer a few nights ago. When he finished he shut the computer down and said something casually about IRC. I went to log into the #ubuntu channel, only to be denied and a message stating that I was banned.20:41
ikoniais this conner again ?20:41
RedLXXXIVMe?20:42
naliothah yes, another brother20:44
RedLXXXIVI came to be helped, not ridiculed.20:45
Myrttisorry but we've had lots of cases where the supposed brother has been messing around with the computer and gotten the unsuspecting sibling banned20:45
ikoniaI don't see anyone ridiculing anyone ?20:46
RedLXXXIVSorry it took so long, I was on the phone20:49
RedLXXXIVI don't understand where exactly we stand on the issue.20:50
RedLXXXIVbrb, rebooting.20:53
jpdsRedLXXXIV: Ubuntu does come with passwords and lock screen functions to stop "brothers" from doing bad things.20:56
RedLXXXIVyes, and I've taken off my auto login. I'm 23 years old and in the military - I'm not a kid. My goal on these channels is not to cause problems, it's to help solve them. I just got off the phone with him (the day it happened, he was visiting), and he says that he was using MSN, and typed into the wrong window.20:59
jpdsYou'll have to wait for ompaul to come round, he set the ban.21:00
RedLXXXIVAlright.21:01
jpdsAh useful short hand is: Ctrl-Alt-L to lock the screen.21:01
RedLXXXIVLearn something new every day! I've only been using Ubuntu for a few months now - Hate Vista.21:02
ikoniayou dont have to "hate" vista21:03
jussi01ikonia: nice to see you in the world of "K" again ;)21:04
RedLXXXIVI know I don't <have> to, I just do. Sure, it's new and improved XP, but it's got far too many drawbacks for it to be useful in this tinkerer's books. Not only that, but I love breaking things to see how they work, then make them better. Thus is the reason I came to Linux.21:04
ikoniajussi01: just passing after someone gave #u a smart lesson in why ubuntu should make everything better21:07
jussi01:)21:15
ompaulhi21:22
LjLmy server isn't keeping up with the 32 degrees outside and it's crashing, so i'll turn it off during the night and when it's not being used. that will affect floodbot1 and my other bots. sorry21:22
